An upgrade to its protection of minors in lotteries has been carried out by Zeal Network of Germany.

The company has co-operated with Nect for AI-based identity verification through Nect’s Ident. Players can also self-identify independently through an app.

Zeal has also modernised the protection of players and their identities with the software that makes it impossible to circumvent player blocks using false identities.

"As a provider of online lotteries, youth protection is central and omnipresent for us," says Helmut Becker (pictured), CEO of Zeal.

"That's why we place the highest value on using innovative technologies that make the registration process secure and transparent for both sides.

"We are delighted to have Nect at our side, a partner that specialises in developing technical innovations for a secure digital future.

"By using Nect Ident, we will be able to even better ensure that the players who register for our online offers really do meet the regulatory requirements for playing the lottery."
